Thoughts while pedaling... must have balance...

Today I met with a personal trainer to make sure I'm on the right track to lose weight. During the assessment I was asked to balance on one foot and touch the ground with the other hand...what a wake up call! I have no balance at all! I was embarrassed, for when I was younger I could practically walk a tightrope! So as I'm working on this balance thing, I started wondering if having a lack of balance is a cause for getting wobbly when I'm in high places... when I was younger I used to "crown" the 100 ft trees which means climb to the top and jump to the next one.. now if I'm a 20 ft edge.. I get wobbly.. so give me six months to test my theory... and I'll give you a detailed report.
